You may or maynot remember that I have a love affair with Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. It is seriously my favorite show on tv and I watch it whenever I can mainly because I love the environment of the cake decorating shop not to mention the wonderously creative things they manage to come up with.
Earlier tonight I was flipping through the channels and happened to come across "Chefography" on the Food Network which is essentially Biography for the food network and looks at how a chef made it to where they are today. I managed to catch the last 15 minutes of the one with Chef Duff from Ace of Cakes. I won't bore you with all the random things I learned except for one thing. If I understood this correctly, at the time Chef Duff was being invited to partake in Food Network challenges (and apparently coming in last those times that his cakes didn't literally collapse during judging) and was actually getting his Food Network show, it was just him and one other guy working in his shop. What you see on the Food Network now is the gorgeous facility they work in and his trusty staff of 15 or so. But as he was getting going and getting recognized it was pretty much him and another guy working out of some basement type kitchen.
Learning that is really empowering to someone in my position working out of rented workspace with my one lone part-time employee. Gives one hope...ya know...
